After 25 years of serving the Jamaica Plain community, the cherished establishment Ten Tables is preparing to say its goodbyes. With a reputation for Euro-inspired dishes and a deep commitment to the farm-to-table ethos, the neighborhood restaurant will hold its final service on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2025. In an emotional social media post by owner Krista Kranyak, she expresses heartfelt appreciation for her customers, suppliers, and dedicated staff. "After a quarter century of dinners, anniversary celebrations, first dates, and weeknight rituals, it's time to turn the page," said Kranyak in the announcement.
The closure marks the end of a remarkable era for Ten Tables, which was a pioneer in the local food movement within Jamaica Plain and the broader Boston area. Despite the closure, Kranyak assures patrons that she plans to reimagine the space with a new concept that continues to reflect her passion for intentional, crafted, and change-making cuisine. "In this same beloved space, I'll be reimagining what comes next: a new concept that honors the intentional, crafted, and change-making purpose that is my passion," Kranyak told followers in her Facebook post. The legacy of Ten Tables is sure to cast a long shadow, having once also extended to a Cambridge location from 2009 through the end of 2015.
The restaurant's legacy of sustainability and seasonal cooking is well-recognized, and its closing signifies a meaningful loss for local gourmands. According to details shared by the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group and obtained by the Boston Restaurants, the community is invited to partake in the final weeks of dining at the cozy 597 Centre Street locale before the year draws to a close.
Kranyak's invitation to dine at Ten Tables one last time is a chance for regulars and newcomers alike to celebrate the restaurant's legacy. She hopes to welcome patrons for "one more Ten Tables dinner—one last cozy night in our dining room, one more round of your favorite dishes, one more toast in this room we’ve been honored to share with you," as mentioned in the Facebook post. The promise of a new venture within the same walls offers a silver lining to long-standing fans who have come to love the restaurant over its notable 25-year tenure.
